I can see Gemini being used on a vehicle like Taurus II or even on PSLV.
One advantage of Gemini you could use a standard ejection seat and consider that a form of a LAS.

that is not an advantage.  The ejection seats were only viable for a Titan II and its specific propellants.

As usual Jim is correct.

I don't see any evidence that this is a viable concept for the near term.

When this first appeared I expected it was some elaborate hoax... or maybe an early April Fool's joke...
